Business Goals & Specifications
- Headless Portal Development
- The client required the development of a Headless Portal to efficiently serve data to the various channels ( web, mobile and others ).
- High-Performance Solution
- The solution should handle 500 concurrent requests under normal conditions and scale to accommodate up to 2000 concurrent requests during peak hours.

- Multi-Language Support
- The platform should support multiple languages, enhancing its utility for a global audience, as part of the Media Asset Management capabilities.
- Comprehensive User Management
- The solution should allow the super admin to manage users effectively, including deactivation, password resets, role-based permission changes, and user-role assignment updates, ensuring a well-rounded DAM Integration Solution.
